When I add a button or an image, I can set it to open a new page. From there I can customize the page the user lands on… If I want a button or and image in another location that links to the same page, how do I link it to the instance of the page with the same layout and components as the page previously created? ---

Hi Chip, Apologize in advance if I get this wrong but I also have the same structure for one of my apps. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7b9b1b8964ded4f6c3f4aa0f56229bf310dca8a9.jpeg) Here’s one of the button: “News” on the top, which redirect users to a “News” tab that I previously created, and it linked exactly like you want to. The key is that I created the “News” tab before adding this homepage and the “News” button. Can you verify that creating the tab first, then the button later would do the thing you want? I only experience having to design the layout and components all over again when I work with inline lists. ---

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Yes I created the “tab” first, but it’s not a tab in the navigation. So it seems like every time I create a link to the page, it creates a fresh instance of the page. ---

That’s by design. This allows you to create different top level screens against the same sheet, whether it’s a tab or a button. This allows for having several buttons pointed to the same sheet, but with different layouts. Anything below the top level (like the details from a list), will have the same design throughout the app. Link to Screen buttons are not linking to the tab. They are looking to the sheet. Like I said, the to level from a button or tab can have different layouts. ---

Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense. Is there any way to copy an existing layout with specific components and configurations, then apply them to info in a sheet? ---

No, there’s not (yet) ---

Just bumping this to see if this can become reality in Pages. I’m needing to copy a **very** labor intensive screen layout to another button for the same item, but in a different spot. Being able to clone a “new screen layout” to another action would save me days of work, multiple times over. ---

You can copy/paste all components at once.
